KOLDCX ERA AT LEAPVILLE Silver Depression Followed bv nn Unpar alleled Boom of the Yfllovr Metal , GREATEST GOLD DISTRICT IN COLORADO Avrrngrs BOO Oniuci of ( iiilil in Hrr Dally rroilnet I lie I'liinoim Hiipo Minn MlnliiK I'rogrpfii nnil AVritcrn The excellent article and map on the I.eadvlllo gold belt , preptrcd for the Herald- Dnmocrnt by A. A. Illow , thn v\cll known mining cnglntcr , In the general topic of conversation In mining circles , gajs the Denver Time * . Mr. Illow Is nt the head of the Silver Cord propeity and Is consid ered onn of the best Informed mining men In the state , Ills DStlmatrs have all been rsrefull } mad" , and Ills prtdictions as well n > ) his carefully pointed out facts regard ing the true value of the gold boll of Lead- Mile will have great weight. In the course of his article Mr. Dlow says- The period of depression due to un just silver legislation has served to turn n new page In Leailvllle's history and to usher In the third , or golden era , of this wonderful mining district , which Is destined In bo the moat permanent and remarkable period of her prosperity , an 1 Lcadvlllo Is today the greatest gold producing district of Colorado 'That portion of the Lcadvlllo district from which the most gold In now being mined Is n part Of the same area and on the same ore chutes which In the past have furnished the millions of ounces of silver and tons of lead ore for which Leadvlllc Is Justly celebrated This portion of the dis trict In which the gold values seem to pre dominate In the ores lies about two miles pftsl of the city of Lcadvllle , and so far as developments now show embraces the ter ritory of Hruco hill , Printer Hey hill , Flor ence hill and Little Kllcn hill , all embracing an arei of about four square miles 'The ores of the Leadvlllc gold belt are found at the contact plane of the blue llmc- Htono with the eruptive rocks and In the lower horizons of tlio limestone , and also In the porphyry dikes It Is u rearonahle as sumption that the rich gold bearing ores now opened on this gold belt are In the lontlnuatlon of the same ere bodies previously disclosed further west , and nro a part of this system which ere chutca have been enriched In their gold contents by the Influence of the porphyry phyry dikes. If this be true , It Is nn as- Biirance of wealth and prosperity for the Lcadvllle district , which no other mining locality can claim. A great deal of the gold contained In the ores of the gold belt Is In n free state , but In the great majority of cases the gold Is contained In a highly slllclous ore , carrying silver and highly stained with the oxides of Iron. The silver values , however , are a second ary feature , as about 80 per cent of the net value of the ere Is In gold. "At the present time Leadvlllo Is pro ducing from the gold belt not less than GOO ounces of gold dally. This product Is derived almost entirely from four mines , three of wh'ch have been opened within the past fix months The aggicgato tonnage exceeds 230 tons dally , and the total of gold smelting ores alone Is greater than that of any othci district In Colorado " HASIN'S IlIQ BONANZA. The Hope company this month has shipped sulllclcnt concentrates to wnriant It In dc- clailng a great ° r dividend than that of last month , which will be ovei $100,000 , says tlio Ilasln Times The lead contains some very licit ere In the slopes on the east end and KOGIIIH to dip Into tlio Katie end lines. The ground under the Hope concentrator , which is mostly on the Katie ground , Is the richest portion of this mine. The west drift of the 200 continues In a bunch of waste that lies b twcen the two bodies of ore on each side of the drift , which makes the ground good to break. The lead matter Is between fifteen and twenty fe ° t wide , or was where the walls were first cut , and Is of uniform richness The raise from the 200 will be commenced shortly for the new shaft. The old one Is a poor excuse for anything but a hole in the ground. When this shaft is raised to the surface the prospects will bo bright for anew now- hoist more In conformity with the value of the property The slopes on the cast side and adjoining the Katie have been worked to the surface and the company has but little ground left there , but the ledge was strong and rich and seemed to pitch east. These old slopes will have to be securely filled with waste , ns they ore directly under a portion of the concentrator , and the Katie folks will undoubtedly drift and stopo to their west end line , which will make It anything but comfortable for this large plant. The mine at present Is In a very prosperous condition. It Is the grealest gold producer In America , or the world , and the quality of the ore In sight Is sufficient , even from the 200-foot level , to make good this assertion for years to come. A PHENOMENAL STRIKE. Two men in the last five weeks have mined in the Gold King a full carload ot ore , and every pound of it cnmo from a drift these men were running , says the Cripple Creek Crusher. The mineral was of grade that would at least equal ten ounces In gold to the 'on Never In the history of this mine has the property looked so wolf ns now. Ore , and plenty of It , Is found everywhere In the workings , and the grade Is exceptionally good. The Crusher has heretofore spoken of something of a phenomenal nature that has been found In this piopcity , and that Is the new vein from which all the ere now being mined Is taken. It lies parallel with the first ere discovered , and is not more than ten feet distant. That It Is an en tirely separate and distinct vein Is clearly demonstrated from the fact that It has been opened up on Its stilke for u distance of 200 feet from the surface. The amount of ere now exposed In the Ciold King will measure up Into the thousands of dollars , mid It would be well for people owning stock in that property to hold on until after the Etrlko Is over , so that they may have a olmnce at the dividends that nro certainly near at hand. EXCITEMENT AT SALHU. Ore running $117 per ton In silver , lead and gold was brought down from the Sliver Lead mine the other day and caused much ex citement among Sallda business men U Is the best looking ere yet produced by that property , and there Is every Indication that an Immense body of mineral will bo cn- cotmtcrel within the next fifty feet. Acordlng to assays secured this ere carries almost three ounces of gold. There Is no doubt In the minds ot any one hereabouts that the Silver Lead will bo one ot the most profitable mines to work in Colorado It Is only about four miles from the city , find nn easy grade to the railroad makes It possible to construct a wagon road very cheaply. SLOW JUSTICE.

John Vanllousen mido a peculiar find on his farm southwest of Schuylcr last week , says the Sun. On ono place there is con siderable sand In a pasture. While going over this one day last week ho found where the wind had blown the sand awny and un covered some bones , a few bullets and con siderable lend , which had evidently been used for moulding bulk'ts. One can only con jecture as to how these came to be there , but that they have been there n long time is evi dent. Whether the bones were those of n human being or an animal the finders did not know. It looks as though a party of hunters or emigrants might have been sur prised aritl driven away while In camp In the early days before they had time to gather up their ammunition and things. Judge Babcock of Falls City recently dis charged William Meyers , who was on trial for committing a criminal assault on Eliza beth Schiller , on the ground that the woman was ot such unsound mind -that her testi mony could not be taken and that there was not sufficient other evidence to convict.

The citizens subscribed some $4&0 for the erection of the building for this ex perimental plant , which Is to be very largely Increased If it proves n success. A Douglas correspondent of the Cheyenne Leader states that the damage done by the recent storms to range stock has been exag gerated. On sheep the loss will range from 10 to 25 per cent. Cattle seen since the blizzard look well , and as the spring grass Is starling the outlook Is not so bad. So far as the Saratoga Sun has been able lo learn , the storm which has just swept over this valley did little damage to stock. Cattlemen from the south end of tlie valley say that It did not kill a single head ot range stock so far as they know of. No loss of sheep has been reported In the valley tip to date. The ground was in need of mois ture , the range has been much benefited by the fall of snow , and the young grass shows up well in every direction as a result. OREGON.

The ditch was constructed to cover 8,000 or 10,000 acres of land , but will only bo used to Irrigate 2,000 acres this year. Explorations of the great Josephine caves will soon begin , rive supply houses have been erected and everything Is ready to re ceive the explorers In comfort. Quite a con- Irasl , ns a local correspondent truly observes , to the reception that met the first sctllcrs of that section. James McDonough of Tolo has just made a shipment of fifty-five ounces of gold to the San Francisco mint. The mineral was taken from his placer mine , near Tolo. The mine is very rich , but n few days of sunshine shuts oft the waler supply , making the work ing season very short. Adrlenno Comeloy of Albany Is the pos sessor of a very old and valuable violin.

WASHINGTON. Jose's logging ' camp , Snohomlsh , loads twenty-five cars a week for the Monte Crlsto shingle mills. North Yak I ma learns that work will be pushed on the Wide Hollow ditch , which will Irrigate 12,000 acres. The agitation for n bounty on squirrel EC ilps Is assuming tremendous proportions In tlio Lincoln connly papers. A four-mile cutoff Is to bo built for the Washington Southern at Shelton to permit the logging by September of some 20,000,000 feet from lands under conttacl.

The Poorman mine In the Coeur d' Alene district is reported to have been sold to un English syndicate for $500,000. The calf crop on llio New Mexico ranges will be less Ibis year than usual , because of the heavy shipment of cows list season. The Phoenix Gazette claims from 25,000 to 10,000 head of range cattle are annually graced and fattened upon alfalfa pastures of Ihe Salt river valley.
